Wild Blue Yonder

Through openings in the dropped ceiling, a viewer can glimpse a fabricated "sky" above.  Cotton clouds float between sprinkler pipes, a blimp passes by, and animated birds fly on and off of wire conduit.  Pigeons coo, birds tweet, and the high distant sound of a 747 passes overhead.
